The dream of a group of music lovers
Highlands Festival was conceived by four passionate music lovers who got together and fantasized about their ideal music festival. This original foursome has since been joined by several dozens of fellow music lovers, all of whom are dedicated to realizing those musical dreams.
In addition, some twenty companies, including Double-2, the media company owned by veteran Dutch DJ Jan Douwe Kroeske, have been providing advice and assistance to the organizers of the Highlands Festival. Experienced festival organizers, set designers and sound technicians are putting the plans into practice, while copywriters, graphic designers and accountants are contributing their own essential skills. The Highlands Festival has built a community of almost two-hundred friends, all of whom are music lovers who support the festival and its organization.
